SNAKE-EYES excelled in Long Range Recon Patrols and high-risk covert missions in Southeast Asia. His success was based on his ability to use everything from trees to fog when making himself virtually "invisible," even to skilled Cobra Ninjas. He perfected his mystical martial arts techniques with the same ninja clan that trained STORM SHADOW. Snake-Eyes was living a self-disciplined, tranquil life in the High Sierras when HAWK recruited him for the G.I. Joe team. Since then, he has proven himself an invaluable asset to the Ninja Force and one of the fiercest fighting menaces against all Cobra legions.

Variations

Earlier versions of Snake-Eyes' packaging did not have the small parts warning printed on the card. A clear sticker with white text was placed above the figure's name. Later card printings have the text next to the figure in black text on a gray background.

Body Construction

Snake-Eyes (version 5)'s body is entirely original - no parts were taken from other figures. The mold was re-used in 1994 to create Shadow Ninjas Snake-Eyes (v6).

Like all the Ninja Force figures, Snake-Eyes' body was designed with a "real ninja move." Snake-Eyes' legs could be squeezed together, causing his arms to make a chopping motion.

International Variants

South Korean releases of Snake-Eyes placed Korean-language stickers have been placed over portions of the American card.

Some South Korean releases used a Chinese card, with a white Korean G.I.Joe logo placed on the top of the card.

European releases of Snake-Eyes had hexagonal shaped footpeg holes. Additionally, while still the same color as their American counterparts, the tekagi claws used the retooled versions first seen with Snake-Eyes (v6) (1994).

WHOBIT

The only thing harder to keep track of than the 500+ G.I.Joe action figures released since 1982 are the many
guns, backpacks, helmets, and knives that were included with the figures. With almost 1800 different G.I.Joe
accessories, identifying them was once a long, arduous task. But not anymore.

Enter WHOBIT.
